Hello, After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 (backuppc 3.2.1-2ubuntu1.1) to Ubuntu 14.04 (backuppc 3.3.0-1ubuntu1), BackupPC no longer starts in daemon mode. It runs fine in foreground though. I tried wi
Hi Stoyan, Not sure if it is the same problem as you're having, but I had a similar symptom when using the default 'debian-backuppc' init script on Ubuntu 14.04; I am using BackupPC 4.0.0a3. By defau

Thank you for your reply, Steven, but the init script doesn't seem to be the problem in this case. At this point, I'm invoking the BackupPC executable manually with the "-d" option and not creating a
What's the value of $Conf{RunDir} in your config.pl? /var/run/backuppc ? Thank you for your reply, Steven, but the init script doesn't seem to be the problem in this case. At this point, I'm invoking

Hi Holger, While it seems like a packaging issue, there are no bug reports on launchpad, so I thought maybe someone on this list stumbled upon this problem. Unfortunately, nothing gets recorded in th

What is between the server and clients? It looks like the connection is breaking after some amount of time. If you are going through a NAT router or stateful firewall it is common to have a timeout o
I'm running BackupPC 4.0.0alpha3 and recently had the occasion to perform a restore via rsync. I attempted to restore the /etc/apache2 directory on a server to /tmp/apache2 on a different server for
Both computers are on the same LAN. There should be no firewalls between them except on the BackupPC server(linux) and client (windows). From the XferLOG it appears as though this was a quite active
